If expectations at the Wliitea kor oil well are realized, there will soon be a hustling in this section of Oregon, such as would make a "Weary Willie" tired to dream of. Supervisor Thomas Strain has been doing some good work on the highways in this district in the way of grading and supply ing gravel. The Street Com missioner, backed by the city council, has also been at work and has supplied gravel to the streets in needed places Keep the good work moving. The Monmouth Improvement Company has had septic sewer age installed for the brick build ing, 01. the corner near the de pot. This is the second im provment of this nature put in recently, as Mr. Robert Steel had his property on Mai,n street provided with septic sewerage. These improvements are very commendable and much more of a similar character is needed. According to news paper gos sip Spokane is coming up with a proposition to build a monu ment to Adam and Kve. Mark Twain once proposed the same measure, but whether in jest or otherwise, who can say. Spo kane however appears to be in earnest, but it is a lute date for the enterprise, as Adam and Kve began building their own .monument some six thousand years ago and the institution is still in progress. Of course Noah's ilood koocked a big bole in the structure, but the foun - dation was left and the monu ment is still growing. Spokane may erect a pile of marble or bronze but it will look puny alongside of Adam's collossui tower. Spokane may as well give it up She can't over-shad ow Adam as a builder. Money Made by the Poison Route It seems that the pure-ford arm of the Government has reached out and grappled with the fellows who are manufact uring ice-cream cones out of pois oned material. Some people who have read of the circumstance may think that the word "pois oned" is a little strong, and that we should be content to call it deleterious" and let it go at that It is found, however, that chemists say that borax is inju rious to the human stomach. So, all things considered, the stron ger word is the better. In the fact that the pure-food people are after these manufac turers, we have that which is en couraging. It is so different from what would have happened ten or a dozen years ago! Whether the cones be very poisonous or not, is not so much to the pur pose as the fact tha1 the Govern ment, by virtue of pure-food sen timent and the legislation based thereon, exercises a watchful and protective regard for the people, and serves notice upon that brand of greed which would as soon sell poisoned food as not, that its business is dangerous. It has not been so many years since the people of this country were entirely defenseless against this sort of thing. For a time, too, it seemed to be hopeless that we would ever succeed in so crys tallizing sentiment as to bring about the enactment and enforce ment of effective law, which would help to put the swindler and the poisoner out of business as he was engaged in the man ufacture of foods and drugs. The abuse complained of has not been wholly cured; but a great gain has been made in the fact that Uncle Sam has a watchful and reprov ing eye on these fellows, and they know it. Telegram. Through the press, much is being said pro and con of the assembly method of selectingcan- didates, some contending that it is not a nominating machine, oth ers maintain that it is. We are not much interested as we are pretty weel through with parti san politics, but, if we were called upon to define it, we cer tainly should say that it is not a nominating institution as the law makes provision for nomi tions by primary election, but as nearly as we can size up the sit uation it is this: It is the same old political machine, and while it cannot nominate its object is to select the candidates and it fully expects the party to ratify its selection. The assembly looks upon its selections us the candidates who will receive the nomination, and that is about as close to the old process as they can get until the primary law is annulled. The man who argues that a horse is man's best friend wasn't with a certain party on the beach when the tide was coming in The rig with its human freight was not far from the water's edge when the horse which had heretofore refused to start, still remained obstinate. It was not until all the various means and methods to start a balky horse were resorted to before this gen- tel old animal made up her mind to change locatio s and took the rig to another spot more to the liking of her ambition to wait Fircrackers were used as a last resort to move this trusty old animal, man's friend, and as long as the firecrackers held out rea- sonably good progress was made but it does seem rediculous that a "man's best friend" should re quire a Fourth of July celebration to accompany it on every beach excursion.
